The thing is this woman would have been able to have a child naturally but then she was diagnosed with cancer and this idea of fertilising embryos for implanting later was put forward as a way of her getting round losing her fertility due to the treatment for the cancer. Some women have chosen to become pregnant first, risk their own life and then undergo treatment after the birth.

She didn't need a sperm donor because she had a partner and was in what she thought was a permanent relationship at the time. He must have thought so too to have agreed to it then. She had the hope of a child to look forward to once she was over her treatment. Now she has lot that and I still see it as a cruel blow - like the woman who wanted to be inseminated with the sperm of her dead partner and was denied because he wasn't alive to agree to it.
